2016, we open up with Illinois on September 3rd at Waldo Stadium.

that will be awesome, except after conference re-alignment we will be playing D-1aa by then.....so we will follow that with GVSU, SVSU, Western Illinois, Southern Indiana, Dayton, and then a hotly contested road trip to Nichols State?

Awesome, can't wait.

Jeeze.

If you've learned anything from the hockey alignment efforts, nothing is a foregone conclusion. Just your wildest WMU athletic fears manifesting themselves at the keyboard.

What's with the negativity? Still in shock from us breaking 17k on Saturday?

Should WMU make it 2 straight over them Saturday, they might not be so, uh, thrilled to come visit. A buyout is possible. Speculating is fun, huh? Especially when it's best case scenario speculating like beating them again.

Our team is the real deal. Watch what happens when they put it all together without the mistakes. Illinois has reason to be concerned, especially with all the hype about them possibly starting out 4 - 0. All the pressure is on them.

Like Cubit said the other day, "We've got good players, too."

I just hope it is actually at Waldo, instead of some change to Soldier Field, or even Ford Field. The BCS schools always seem to manipulate the situation, so they never play mid-majors on the road.

We have to change class schedule. Not to mention it is fairly popular on campus the BCS school 1st week people getting together and watch the game.

That one should be fine. What year do we host MSU? 2015? 2017 is the year where any games vs. Big Ten schools at home are going down the drain as they move to a 9 game schedule.
